Hello? Frank Sinatra's show, he's too tired to talk.
Hey boss, New York is calling.
It isn't Colette, is it, Marvin?
Hey operator, is it Colette?
What'd she say?
No it isn't Colette, it's Ed Sullivan.
Ed Sullivan? The famous columnist? The man who writes Little Old New York?
Well put him on, Marv!
Okay, New York, and go ahead Ed Sullivan!
This is Ed Sullivan, New York.
Last November I needed a big name attraction for a war bomb show we were staging at Richmond, Virginia,
So I contacted Frank Sinatra.
Richmond got its war bomb show and a million dollar sellout in bonds.
So there are a lot of reasons which might persuade us to give this Ed Sullivan Award of Modern Screen and Magazine to Frank.
Certainly a major reason would be Frank's record of good citizenship
And his sincere interest in those less fortunate than himself.
However, Frank, the Ed Sullivan Modern Screen and Magazine Award is given to you
Not for any of these qualities
But simply because your program has given so much pleasure to the country.
From start to finish, your whole goal program has bounce, humor and imagination.
So tonight I'm reaching three thousand miles across the country to hand you this gold plaque
And with it, Francis, my very best wishes to a very swell person.
Thanks again, Ed, for the fine award and for saying that our old goal show gives pleasure to the nation.
Boy, speaking of giving pleasure, I'd like to say this about old goal: I--
Uh, not yet Marvin, a bit later perhaps, huh?
Hm, that's probably Ed Sullivan wanting his award back.
Nope, it rang twice! Must be the postman!
Hello? Frank Sinatra show, starring Axel Stordhal?
What's that? The National Father's Day Committee?
You have an award for Frank Sinatra?
For his efforts in pointing out and emphasizing to the youth of America
The opportunities and responsibilities of good citizenship?
And because his relationship with his own children
Provides an example for all young parents
The National Committee for Father's Day hereby names Frank Sinatra
The outstanding radio father of the year?
Ladies and gentlemen,
On the custom as I am being named the father of the year, I uh...
No kidding, I... I feel mighty good about this award.
Of course, I get the wind taken out of my sails as soon as I get home tonight.
I'll say to little Nancy
"Look, honey! See what daddy brought home?"
She'll take a quick look and say "Uh-huh, but where's that bubblegum you promised me?"
On father's day, if papa's still around
What do you say we go sentimental on him?
Let's walk right up to him, look him straight in the eye and say:
"Pops, you're the nicest guy I've ever met.
If you don't mind, hey, I wanna grow up and be exactly like you."
And while we're talking about children,
Ladies and gentlemen, this Saturday
It's little Nancy's birthday.
She'll to be six years old and I'd like to sing a tune for her
And I think, uh, she'll enjoy it.
I'm gonna love you,
Like nobody loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain
And deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess, when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me
You're gonna love me,
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together,
Unhappy together
And won't that be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
